Radical Rant #1 

The weekend is almost over and I am already pissed off. I would never in my whole life think that this would happen within my own group of friends: unwanted sexual advances. One of my best friends was taken advantage on this uneventful Friday night. The perpetrator was a good friend of ours and some one who she was also seeing. Both were intoxicated but he was still conscious and she, on the other hand, passed out. The next morning, she realizes what happened that night and started crying out of anger. 

It makes me think about the high statistics of sexual assault on women. According to RAINN (Rape, Abuse, Incest National Network), 73% of sexual assaults were perpetrated by a non-stranger and 28% are intimate.  

I was really taken aback when she confronted be about what happened. We did not really know how to handle the situation since this is a guy that we all have been hanging out with. I’m starting to wonder how many other groups of girls have been through this. Or how many girls, in general, go through this shitty situation? My generation is so bombarded with hyper-sexualized images and messages that our thought processes are influenced so much by just the thought of FUCKING. 

Ugh. I don’t know if I’m making any sense. So I’ll just end my post here. 

Radical Dyke out.
